Summary:
L'étude des tours de la Borde permet d'illustrer un mode spécifique d'habiter " en hauteur ", l' " unité de voisinage " procédant d'une logique qui cherche à atteindre de hautes densités par la construction de bâtiments élevés. À cette époque, ce choix a donné lieu à des débats animés et, curieusement, fait encore de nos jours l'objet d'intenses discussions. L'étude des(...)

Summary:
L'étude des tours de la Borde permet d'illustrer un mode spécifique d'habiter " en hauteur ", l' " unité de voisinage " procédant d'une logique qui cherche à atteindre de hautes densités par la construction de bâtiments élevés. À cette époque, ce choix a donné lieu à des débats animés et, curieusement, fait encore de nos jours l'objet d'intenses discussions. L'étude des tours de la Borde met en perspective la qualité d'une réalisation d'inspiration organique, dans le sillage des trajectoires humanistes de Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Hans Scharoun, Otto Senn ou Ernst Gisel.

Summary:
L'étalement urbain entraîne une utilisation peu rationnelle du sol et une pression grandissante sur le paysage, ainsi qu'un accroissement des coûts d'infrastructures et des impacts environnementaux. Face à ces conséquences, un consensus se dégage progressivement pour réorienter le développement du bâti vers l'intérieur et pour favoriser les processus de densification(...)

Summary:
L'étalement urbain entraîne une utilisation peu rationnelle du sol et une pression grandissante sur le paysage, ainsi qu'un accroissement des coûts d'infrastructures et des impacts environnementaux. Face à ces conséquences, un consensus se dégage progressivement pour réorienter le développement du bâti vers l'intérieur et pour favoriser les processus de densification urbaine. Le site de Waldstadt, sur lequel portent les travaux de recherche et d'enseignement présentés dans cet ouvrage, constitue un champ d'investigation particulièrement adapté à l'exploration de ces enjeux. Green Density présente six visions originales élaborées au sein du Laboratoire d'architecture et technologies durables (LAST) de l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Par une approche se situant à différentes échelles d'intervention - du projet urbain au détail constructif - elles visent à expérimenter diverses formes envisageables pour le développement d'un tel site.

Summary:
Casablanca’s Habitat Marocain housing project was built between 1954 and 1956 by Swiss architects Jean Hentsch and André Studer, part of the major postwar reconstruction and expansion undertaken by the French colonial administration after World War II. The building was intended to house local inhabitants rather than European expats, and that intention guided the architects in their design, which reflected a number of ethnographic assumptions about the Moroccan populace. This richly illustrated book explores the process of designing and building Habitat Marocain, illustrating the complicated interplay of ethnographic imagination and design synthesis, as well as the increasingly informal further development of the project after it was officially completed.
